Off Highway Vehicle Programs

A forest visit used to mean camping and hiking. Today’s sophisticated multi-terrain technology has created exciting opportunities for visiting parts of the forest few people get to see. To help Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts recreate safely and protect the public lands they visit, the National Forest Association’s OHV Programs field more than 300 OHV Patrol Volunteers who contribute 10,000 hours every year to teaching visitors trail ethics, land and resource stewardship, and maintaining and patrolling trails.

In addition, the OHV Education Outreach program strives to emphasize land ethics, safety,and environmental stewardship to all public land visitors through interpretive educational information, with a primary focus on motorized recreation.

The OHV Programs are a partnership of the National Forest Association, the Forest Service, OHV user groups and industry partners. Major funding for the project comes from the Green Sticker program and American Honda Motor Company, Motorcycle Division. Along with our partners, we hope to achieve our goal of creating more informed recreationists and a better protected forest.
